§ The CHIEF SECRETARY for IRELAND (Mr. Birrell)The police authorities inform me that on the 12th July a few boys marched past Mrs. Evans' house beating a toy drum, and that some of them threw stones at the house and broke a window. On the following day some factory girls used abusive language to Miss Evans. The 185 police do not anticipate any further interference with the Evans family, but they are keeping an eye to the house.
